I gotta admit, the reverse angled deck is growing on me. It's a quite elegant solution to the packaging problem and lets you keep the Flight Ops tower well aft for best views.


The challenge is that you absolutely cannot conduct catapult launch and arrested recovery at the same time. So in a navy like the USN or PLAN, they're probably not going to want to deal with the different traffic pattern around the small carriers versus large carriers.


Smaller navies, the ones where this is their first "real" carrier, not an LHA, probably won't care.

PS: Don't forget to add the crash barrier net for recovering planes than have had their tailhooks fail.
